Another feature of this week, is that it is Anti-bullying week. As part of assemblies this week, my favourite teacher, Miss Sunderland, asked to read a poem said by the Rev.Niemoller. I just thought I'd share the quote with you as I find the words just amazing. Also with all the reading abou the holocaust I have been doing recently, it makes me think that just little bit more...
" First, they came for the communists. I did not speak out, as I am not a communist. Then they came for the socialists. I didn't speak out because I am not a socialist. They came for the Labor leaders. I did not speak out as I'm not a labor leader. Then, they came for the Jews. I did not speak out. I am not a Jew. But then they came for me. But there was no one left to speak for me. "
